Starting Monday (Star Wars Day – “May the 4th be with you!”) The Catholic Foodie will become a dailylive radio show on Real Life Radio! Not only can you listen to it live (and call in!), but the show will also be released as a podcast daily!

Thank a Nun Day is an organized social media effort that invites participants of all ages from around the world to unite under the hashtag #ThankANun to share messages of gratitude to the Catholic nuns—past and present—who have made a difference in their lives.

“For as long as I live, Sister Augustine will be one of the most extraordinary people I’ll ever know,” John said. “For me, she was a light in the darkness. A mentor. A friend. I know many others feel the same way about the special nuns who have passed through their lives as well.”

Participants are encouraged to use the hashtag #ThankANun in sharing written messages and photos all day May 5 on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest as a way to say “Thank You” to the Catholic Sisters who have dedicated their lives to serving, encouraging and inspiring others.

“It’s so exciting to join my neighbors across the U.S. and the globe in this effort to pay tribute to the thousands of nuns who have shared their wisdom, humor and grace with us,” John added. “Each one of them is a glimpse of Heaven right here on earth!”

The effort to celebrate the service and contribution of Catholic nuns is being jointly sponsored by Image, the Catholic division of Penguin Random House, and John Schlimm, author of Five Yearsin Heaven.

I can’t wait to read what you share on Thank a Nun Day! There are so many nuns that I want to thank… Nuns that have had such a powerful impact on my life… includingBlessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta! So stay tuned – and get involved! – on May 5th!

About The Catholic Foodie

The Catholic Foodie brings much more to the table than merely recipes and reviews. The show highlights how food - good food - can be a sign of God’s love and care for each of us and our families. The tagline, "where food meets faith," speaks volumes about the importance of family, which is so often developed around the kitchen table.
